St. Boniface, pray for us!!
Romans 12:13-21
Look on the needs of the saints as your own; be generous in offering hospitality. Bless your persecutors; bless and do not curse them. Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. Have the same attitude toward all. Put away ambitious thoughts and associate with those who are lowly. Do not be wise in your own estimation. Never repay injury with injury. See that your conduct is honorable in the eyes of all. If possible, live peaceably with everyone. Beloved, do not avenge yourselves; leave that to God's wrath, for it is written: "'Vengeance is mine; I will repay,' says the Lord." But "if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; by doing this you will heap burning coals upon his head." Do not be conquered by evil but conquer evil with good.
It is so hard to move our egos out of the way especially in today's culture which talks about self-esteem as if there is no life without the world's definition of self-esteem. We can feel truly good about ourselves when we recognize the truth that is present within us and when we know the love that God has for us and we desire to journey on the road that he has set before us. We only tend to get into great trouble when we desire our will be done rather than his. Read your Bible today!!
God bless!!
